American Journal of Surgery

Abstract

An analysis of 369 patients operated on for massive upper gastrointestinal bleeding is presented. Gastroscopy was performed in all patients. Duodenal ulcer remains the most common cause of such bleeding (45.4 percent of cases). The type of treatment that should be used is the most controversial in patients with bleeding esophageal varices. It is concluded that the procedure that corrects the patient's primary disease is also the most suitable one for treating massive bleeding.
